Monster and Animal Hands by Héctor Serrano by Brian Fichtner
Spanish designer Héctor Serrano's new temporary tattoos for children transform hands into colorful creatures. A modern take on the sock puppet, the wide-eyed caricatures of animals and monsters go on with water.
Serrano designed them for the U.K. gift company Worldwide, who launched them at this week's New York International Gift Fair. Purchase a set of eight animals or monsters for £4 from NPW or contact Worldwide's U.S. offices to find a local retailer.
Update 20 October 2009: The hands are available online (and in store) at A Plus R in Venice, CA
via Dezeen.
